Why Kent Zotter chose West Jefferson

I can't tell you how awesome it is to wake each day and look out over this beautiful land. It doesn't matter whether the sun is shining or a drizzle or snowflakes coming down...each has it's own beauty here on the mountain.

What makes this Cabin unique

Some of the greatest amenities of 'Sky High' are the views from the cabin and the fresh air. You can find other cabins in our area but none like 'Sky High' for it's accommodation, beauty and access. You'll enjoy privacy yet be close enough to other attractions.

We were extremely happy with this property during our Christmas family get-together. The house was clean, plenty of areas to spread out and with all the females in the family—plenty of bathrooms! As there was some bad weather and icing of roads, Kent kept in contact so we were aware of what to expect—which was a good thing as the road did ice up the day we arrived. We particularly enjoyed the sunsets from the balcony and watching the deer come by everyday. We would definitely visit again if given the opportunity.

First the important, do not trust GPS devices. We took two very uncomfortable detours and had to turn around by following GPS. Use the written directions only. Second, floors and stairs are very slippery. Use appropriate footwear.

Conflicting information on check-in and check out. One area indicated check in at 2:00 PM vs 4:00 PM in another area. Check out 10:00 AM vs 12:00 Noon conflicts.

Good parts: Very comfortable, well insulated, beautiful well built structure with wonderful views. Close to West Jefferson, good kitchen appliances, hiked in Mount Jefferson.

Owner's Response:

We tell everyone to follow the directions we personally send because we know how GPS can create problems.

Our guests mentioned the check in and check out time is different. Our personal information we send prior to a guest's arrival clearly states the check in and check out times. I can't find a different time schedule online so I'm not sure where the misunderstanding. If someone would point it out to me I'll be happy to make the correction.

Regarding the floors...we do keep them clean and I'm sure they needed some footwork to be more user-friendly.

A group of 6 friends wanted a weeknd away and this was the perfect spot! The house has everything you could need while still being cozy. Close to Boone and hiking trails as well but we mostly enjoyed the house and the views! Make sure to enjoy the jacuzzi!
